Jairus Czar Of Proxy,

Maybe Randy should post/inform us of the cars that have arrived in San Jose. That way we will know that they got there ok.

I added tracking to MY car so I'll know when it arrives. But suppose I could ask him to take a family photo or something... ^_^

Jaius Crown Prince of Thingie Proxy Racing,

I added "tracking" to mine, but don't want to mess with that unless there is a problem. If he could kindly inform us that would be great. If not ok too.

I have been paying enough attention to answer the last ?
(Pablo, hush :) )

The amount of power on time is left up to the race director of that particular track as JHW has already answered that.

And! IMHO, I doubt Bob will get any more answers!

Thanks guys!
t-shirts are mailed out. Most will receive them before the race Saturday. Sorry Al, Edo, Jens, Jaak, Steve and Bob, I didn't get them printed early enough to allow you guys to get'em till next week.


Jairus bad. :dash2:



Now there is nothing more for me to do but sit, wait and hope it all goes as planned.

I will have a go at helping with this.

Questions and Clarifications :

C -Randy transports the cars to the track from his home....Thought they where shipped to the racetrack....in both cases i see no possible problems***

Q -Randy - Will you be home on Friday 9/28 to sign for a Fed-Ex or UPS Red package?..Call or e-mail Randy to be sure he seen your question.

Q -Jairus, Randy, Barney - How will we be updated on the event(s) progression - eg. LiveStreaming, Slotblog, facebook, other?..When they have time i assume they will post it.

Q - Jairus, Randy, Barney - Who is chartered with taking video, still pictures and race reports?.....The person holding the camera at that time.

Q - How and when do the cars get from Randy/Eddies to Barney for the BPR race?.....As fast and safe as possible.

Q - What is the protocol as it pertains to practice of the cars........they all get to practice a bit.

Q - How many power on minutes per lane in the race?....Around 2minutes from what i have seen.

*** I made them bold so it is more easy to see what is replied..."no shouting has been done during the making of this post"

I know it does not help much but i hope it helps a little in answering questions.
